Frankly, the fEarless just stomps the GR. The Thunderchild is clearly better as a balanced "hi-fi" cabinet. The GR has the usual humps and bumps that
make it sound full, but it is, to me, a tailored sound and not an attempt to provide a flat response. The 212 is far better than the 112 in that sense and I think you'll like it.
I started playing bass as a teenager at 14 years old. I have been out of it for some years, but now that I'm retired, I'm picking it up again. I currently own a 1976 Fender Precision Bass, and will soon be shopping for an SVT or something that sounds like one! Also experienced in FOH mix. For the past 34 years, I've worked at what was once one of the biggest family owned music retailers in the USA.

If you can find a Heartfield (Fender) DR5 they have a 2 octave neck with every fret easily reachable. Fender had them made in a good quality factory in Japan. 19mm spacing, great balance with a not at all chunky neck. I replaced the pickups with Nordstrand electronics. Plays like butter with a very stable neck.
